Connecticut fifth-grader Jack Kealey knew he didn't want to experiment on animals in science class. So he lobbied his state lawmakers to pass a law giving students the right to choose whether or not to dissect animals.

Millions of frogs, turtles, cats, mice, rats, fish, and other animals are used in school dissection exercises every year. Yet a majority of students feel they should be given a choice or alternative when it comes to dissection. If you object to dissection, here's what you can do.

Our Dissection Campaign Packet will help you teach others about the dissection issue, as well as the need to replace the practice of killing and cutting up animals for education with effective, humane alternatives.
